I remember asking for a change in the no carrying policy at UAB (in Birminham, AL) shortly after VT. The reply letter basically scolded me for suggesting such a thing and mentioned the school's 'police force.'. I have not been able to bring myself to pay for another class since then.

And whaddayaknow?! Purely coincidentally, Bill Delahunt (Chavez-loving D from Mass) announces that maybe he won't run for reelection this go around.

The fact that Congresscritter Delahunt happened to be the DA who declined to prosecute the good professor Bishop when she ventilated her brother's thorax with a scattergun has nothing - nothing! - do do with his change of heart. Probly time to spend some more time with, you know, the family.

Most of the libs I know are convinced that possession of a firearm in and of itself will make an otherwise stable person into a ravening sociopath.

I can only assume that to be true, if the person involved is a liberal. I honestly believe that an unfortunately large percentile of them are not too tightly wrapped.

The complete refusal of any meme other than the struggle to create the New Soviet Man and The End Of History is somewhat at odds with something called reality, and every now and then it rears it's ugly head and barks at them.

I imagine it must be difficult to maintain one's doublethink while walking down a darkened urban street, completely helpless and fearful of the morlocks you helped to create.

Has anyone found out how she came to be in possession of a right-wing infernal device? That part of the story might prove interesting.

Here it looks like our lib professor took the vicious a little too far, proibably encouraged by the fact she got away with her previous incident.

Amazingly, as much as others are trying to pin this on the pressure-boiler that is academe, it is amazing how many profs (ie just about every single one) who are denied tenure don't go off on a shooting spree.

Heck, a friend of my wife's at a certain university in Oregon was just denied tenure, purely for politics. Given she's only slightly to the right of Karl Marx you can imagine how far left the profs were to find her "insufficiently collegial" (yep that's the actual reason she was denied).

Nice person and as long as we don't talk politics we get on fine. Insuffciently collegial my ...

But amazingly no shooting spree, no bombs sent, handled it like most people do, as adults. Then again, she doesn't have that liberal entitlement thing going for her that I suspect the current shooter had in spades.
